I think I caught the bug going around. Coughing with sore throat and low energy. Better now than during the season I suppose. I hate colds that aren't bad enough to stay home from work. I just want to go back to bed and nap with my dogs.

Hope not, Julius. My nephews got sick sometime last week and had a pretty rough weekend with whatever bug they caught. I have the privilege of being able to work from home when i'm not feeling well, so most times there really is no instance for me where, if I'm sick, I'm not "sick enough" to stay home. Are you cubicle bound?

I'm not cubicle bound- I have my own office, but I share all the same doorknobs as everyone else. I hope this one isn't so bad.

*and for Angry Midget Yo- I got lots of love for ya and you seem like a down-ass chick, but you did kinda do it to yourself. I love their burgers and spicy fries, but I'd never say what you said on this forum. Hope this passes soon, but if it doesn't please don't hate me if I laugh.

kids like him getting caught lip synching all the time, I don't think the crowd that's into him really cares about talent as much as they like the flash of the show and how adorable he is I can't believe Selena Gomez being as hot as she is wouldn't want to date someone that doesn't look like an older lesbian. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Anyone else have an issue with the free shipping on this site? I tried to make a purchase over $50 and the thing kept giving me an error message about the shipping. I wrote them about it, but haven't heard back. I think they really must have their hands full in fixing the programming that the ol' Sierra crew patched together.

^ No trailers as far as I know. They are still working on it, it seems. But i did see one of those media-focused clips talking about the release and them agreeing to work on it. Was scared Jim Carrie might not reprise his role on Dumb and Dumber! That would be awful if he backed out.

Ron Burgandy (Will Farrel) did make an appearance on a latenight talk show to announce a sequel was coming.

Speaking of Will Ferrell, last night I just watched what has to be the only movie with Will Ferrell that was not a comedy. It was a drama and a very depressing one as well. The name of the movie is Everything Must Go. Anyone who loves Will Ferrell's sense of humor should not watch this movie.

It can be, if you've got a disc that doesn't want to come off or stuck bolt/nut. Other than that most cars aren't too bad. Do your brakes enough and they become more of an annoyance than a pain in the butt. Master cylinders suck, but mostly because you have to deconnect the lines and bleed the system when you're done.

I just did the front discs/pads on my old escape and it went surprisingly well. Done that and the brake power booster in the past couple months and it's made a big difference.

If you're using dealer stuff, then servicing the brakes is much easier in that they are much more corrosion-resistant compared to aftermarket parts. From experience, I recommend using OEM parts for almost everything in your car-- it's a bonus that you're DIY to save money in labour. The difference in reliability and manufacture quality have become obvious to me over the years, for only a marginal increase in cost. I use 100% genuine Toyota parts for everything in my car, except the oil filter. I don't have to worry about quality and fit issues, or some bullshit vibration in my brakes after a month on aftermarket rotors.

Hey does anyone have a ripstick, or have kids who have one? I'm thinking of getting one for my boy's fifth birthday.

I was going to ask in the skateboarding thread, but i didnt want to get yelled at!

I used to have a ripstick and I think it would be a pretty cool present for your son. Personally, I thought a ripsstick was fun but it might be a little challenging for a 5-yr-old to ride unless he already knows how to ride a skateboard or snowboard. Usually little kids take a while to learn to balance on a board. :)

Both my siblings used to have one....they loved it until they stepped onto a skateboard. They just found it more efficient to ride, and also the ripstick took too much work.

..and then I tried it. It definitely required some sort of weird lower body motion with lots of balance, I hope your 5-year-old has been hanging out on an indo board or something!
